I was pitching in with support cases when I came upon this one:

Subject: JBoss on Commadore 64

Description: How do I get the JBoss Application server to run on my Commadore 64?

 

Will 64K be enough memory?

And while it is rare, I have seen enough similar questions to where it did not immediately occur to me that this was a joke. (April fools being over and all) Upon further inspection, I realized it was a test case. I thought I'd share:

To enable clustering on the C64 you need to:

Any chance you will build a version of JBoss using BASIC? That would make it more popular among Commadore 64 users.

To get the performance you need you may want to consider clustering 4 of your 64s.

This way you will be running with a full quarter meg of memory.

JBoss runs great on the 64.

 

JBoss will run on any Java VM, including those platforms for which no VM exists.

 

No application will ever need more than 64K. That's a LOT of RAM dude.

This is a sign that there are not enough support cases being logged today. Please go mess something up. :-)
